Jolyon Palmer, Romain Grosjean at odds over Russian GP start crash

Jolyon Palmer and Romain Grosjean were left blaming each other following the collision at the start of the Russian Grand Prix that forced both drivers out of the race.

Palmer and Grosjean came together on the exit of Turn 2 not once but twice on the opening lap, with Grosjean pitching Palmer into a spin, before the Briton's Renault clipped Grosjean's Haas, launching the Frenchman airbourne and into the wall.

Both drivers were out on the spot, and after the FIA opted to take no action against either driver following a post-race investigation, the pair were left to point the finger at each other.
